Wei Wuhou

Chapter 744

It was also on the tenth day of April, when the Qin people were still debating whether to send troops to the Tang State, the Wei army had already taken two-thirds of the land in the eastern part of the Tang State after breaking into it.

Tang State is much larger than Xiao State, and its land is the size of a county in Wei State. Because it has to defend Wei State in recent years, its domestic army has expanded to [-].

Although the number of troops has increased by one cup, its low combat effectiveness has declined so much that the Wei army has almost taken down several cities in the Tang Kingdom without exerting any force.

But its large number of troops is not without benefits. For example, as it is now, the Wei army has to take down these cities one by one.

However, no matter how much Tang's military strength increased, it was still only [-]... After Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne and made major adjustments to the army, the strength of the Xiguan Camp alone has reached [-].

And the ones in charge of attacking the Tang State at the moment are the various divisions of the Xiguan Camp under the jurisdiction of Zheng Chang, and they only used [-] troops.

Standing on the tower of the captured city of Tang Dynasty, Zheng Chang listened carefully to his subordinate's report, his eyes showed thoughtfulness.

"General, our army took down this city with less than a hundred casualties in this battle... The Tang army's combat strength is really poor!" A general beside Zheng Chang said with a smile.

Zheng Chang nodded and said, "Tang was originally a small country, and it took a lot of effort to raise the [-] troops at the beginning. Now it is beyond its means to expand the army. What kind of army is that?"

That's right, in Zheng Chang's eyes, Tang's [-] troops were nothing more than peasants with weapons, and they couldn't even eat enough... How could they have fighting power!
Then, the general said again: "General, you were ordered to conquer the Tang Kingdom, and now you have won successive wars. When you are in charge in the future... Your Majesty will reward you generously!"

This great general can make Zheng Chang's bones lighten a few times!

Although Zheng Chang was raised to lead the Xiguan camp at the beginning, he was not formally named a general. Now that he got his wish, he is of course very proud.

One must know that above the great general is the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and now that he has resumed the title of a king, if he is promoted to the rank of the general of the Zhu Kingdom, he will really be the ultimate minister, and he can be said to be the glory of his ancestors.

But to achieve this, Zheng Chang knows that he still has a long way to go!

Even if the current Tang State is resolved, it will only secure the position of the general.

Zheng Chang knew very well in his heart that the monarch would help him to the position of general. If he could not take down Tang, he might not be able to secure the position of the Xiguan camp gradually.

Now that the monarch is firmly seated in the court, it is the time when he is eager to install his own lineage. Even Xu Anhong, who has worked hard for the succession of the monarch, is not allowed to step aside for this. Zheng Chang doesn't think he is any more special.

Compared with Wu Mingyan and those people, Zheng Chang felt that he was extremely lucky, at least he still had a chance to work hard, and those people were already dead bones.

So things like standing in line are really important, so he got on the right boat like Zheng Chang and restored his title of Lord Chengyang.

Thinking of those aristocratic people in Wu'an who didn't cooperate at first, Zheng Chang still wanted to scold those people for being stupid.

Who was the monarch at the time?It is Wu Yangjun who has mastered the whole country's army and is respected as the God of War by the people of the country!Who could resist at that time?
Those people in the aristocratic family are conservative and stubborn, and they have to force the monarch to kill, killing Wu'an's heads before they settle down... What are these people not stupid?
It's like he has no face and no skin, once he makes a decision, he sits to the extreme, directly kneeling and licking the monarch... Now he is sitting in the position of the general.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chang unconsciously sighed, "I'm so lucky!"

This statement was absolutely politically correct in Wei State. After Zheng Chang finished speaking, several generals on one side echoed it again and again.

For these people, it is indeed a blessing to meet Wei Wuji, the monarch, otherwise how could they have the opportunity to sit in the position of general who came from a poor family.

Zheng Chang put away his thoughts, and said, "Everyone, our army has been attacking several cities, and the Tang army is now retreating to its capital, Jinyang. The next step... was to go straight to Jinyang!"

Compared with other cities, Jinyang, the capital of the Tang Kingdom, was definitely not that easy to fight, but at this time, no one stood up to oppose it.

On the one hand, the generals present did not take the Tang army seriously, and on the other hand, it was because the benefits of taking Jinyang were indeed huge.

Because Jinyang is located to the east of the tributary of the Dahe River, this is also the reason why Tang State was willing to attach to Wei State at the beginning, because their countries were under the deterrence of Wei Army.

If Jinyang is captured, Tang State will exist in name only like Chen State, and the eastern part of Tang State that was captured by Wei Jun will be stabilized.

At the same time, the Wei army refused to defend Jinyang, and then took the tributary of the big river as a natural danger. Even if it faced Qin sending troops, it would remain invincible.

Therefore, it is imperative to attack Jinyang. After Zheng Chang made this suggestion, the following generals came out to agree one after another.

Since no one has any objections, then the matter is settled like this!

Standing in the center of the general, Zheng Chang looked west and said: "Garrison, taking down the Tang Kingdom is what your majesty expects from us, and it is also our military order!"

"The reward of eating the king, the matter of being loyal to the king...we must not disappoint the high expectations of the king, take Jinyang, capture the Tang country...we will win!" Zheng Chang shouted passionately.

"We must win!" All the generals shouted in unison.

Shouting slogans must be loud, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the monarch, and no one can afford this crime.

Zheng Chang is very satisfied with the generals who are united in one mind and the morale of the army available!
Zheng Chang waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go back to the camp and wait for the general's order!"

After saluting Zheng Chang, all the generals left one after another, leaving Zheng Chang alone on the tower.

At this time, Zheng Chang's face gradually became serious!

The next battle of Jinyang is the most critical, and the battle of Jinyang and the Tang Kingdom is guaranteed, otherwise it will be useless to occupy more cities of the Tang Kingdom.

The obstacle to occupying Jinyang is not the Tang army in Jinyang City, but the Qin people who are hiding behind what to do.

"If the Qin people rushed to Jinyang City first, then things would be troublesome!" Zheng Chang said slowly.

…………

Zheng Chang is worried about the Qin army, but Tang Guogong, who is now hiding in Jinyang City, is panicked like a bereaved dog.

Originally thought that relying on Qin, Tang would have someone to rely on after his defection, but now he didn't even see the shadow of Qin.

So now some people began to miss four years ago, when Tang State had not betrayed Wei State, everything seemed very peaceful.

Although it was quite harsh for Wei people to exploit the Tang state at that time, it was just that the life of the poor and the poor was hard, and the life of Wei Guo's office was still moist.

The poor can't live on, but what does it matter to them noble people?

Therefore, many people in the public office began to complain about their own monarch. He was the one who made the decision to abandon Wei Guo and get mixed up with Qin Guo people.

But these people didn't think about it, if they hadn't been so greedy for profit, they persuaded the monarch to abandon the Wei State, so as to reduce the tribute to the Wei State and squander it on themselves, how could there be the current incident.

At this moment, Tang Guojun's crown was crooked and he looked a little embarrassed. Unlike other people in the office who cowered in the city and complained about themselves, he came to the top of Jinyang City.

The king of Tang knew that there was no way out for Tang, and it would be better to die vigorously than to wait for death.

Of course, the monarch still had an extravagant hope in his heart, and that was to wait for reinforcements from Qin, which was Tang's only hope.

At the side of the monarch, a military officer suddenly came forward to report: "My lord... the scouts came to report that the Wei army abandoned the occupied city and came straight to Jinyang!"

Tang Guoguo trembled, and he turned around and asked, "Can you hear from Qin?"

The military officer was speechless, and it took a while before he said: "Your Majesty...the Qin State, there is no return for now!"

No returns yet... No returns yet...

"Could it be that God wants to destroy my country of Tang?" Tang Guoguo shouted in his heart.
