"Why don't I know your difficulties? But for the sake of Shan Jiucheng's work, the huge Guannei is almost taken down, is it still the last one?"
Since taking down Chang'an, Zheng Tian, who has been more and more described as old and thin, but still strong and resolute, waved his hand and said:
"That's the truth, but the subordinates are afraid that they won't listen to it anymore... If there is not enough rewards and expenses, let alone those outsiders, even if the official army has some changes!"
Qi Kejian said bitterly:
"When I came to Chang'an, everyone was holding a sigh of relief and trying to get something? However, the rewards lasted for a long time, and the city didn't find much, just relying on verbal encouragement and the encouragement of some officials. The anger of the children won't last long, but it will dissipate!"
"Then tell them that the sage's Zhuban and the seal are still in the hands of the original master; if you want to make each of their titles worthy of their names, just work hard for the country and endure a few more days..."
Zheng Tian sneered disapprovingly on his face
"Another sentence, right? As long as someone can break the imperial city first and take down the remnants of Huang Ni who dominate the country; not to mention that it is the choice of the eight towns in the west of Beijing, even if it is the Xuanwu, Zhaoyi, and Yiwu of Kanto. The towns of Taining and Wuning are just one of the rewards..."
After Qi Kejian bid farewell to him, Zheng Tian's body, which was upright and proud because of the tension, slowly relaxed, and then turned into an inaudible sigh. Once upon a time, I needed to maintain the army under his command with such tactics and the tactics of Wangmei to quench his thirst and draw cakes to satisfy his hunger.
However, as the saying goes, good things are hard to come by and the country is getting worse. As the governing prime minister and the thieves, he has fewer and fewer resources to plan tactics, becoming increasingly scarce, and he has to overpay the country's famous implements as a price and reward. , Taking great risks and relations, formed this army of thieves from all the northwestern roads.
However, just as he worked hard on the frontal battlefield, he had achieved victory after victory and the results of the battle, and calculated and used every enemy and every force he encountered to the extreme; it was like a The patience and experienced old hunter pushes the ferocious trapped beast of the minions into the nest with nowhere to escape step by step at the last moment.
But I didn't expect that it was only as a supplementary policy for the teacher, and the Sanchuan side of Jiannan, which mainly transported supplies to the food road, was still out of state. It's nothing more than the stagnant Shu army, but the grain and military resources that were not able to be delivered by the successor are actually killing this army from afar.
At the beginning, in order to take advantage of his unprepared effects, he persuaded many generals of the Northwest Allied Forces to take the lead to brave the consequences of the severe cold and frostbite, and to cross the rugged and difficult Qunling Gorge Road, which was almost frozen. It opened up a good situation in the follow-up in the pass.
However, because most of the men and horses came in lightly, they naturally could not carry too much grain, grass, and mules and horses. Therefore, after they arrived in the pass, they could only rely on the capture of the thief army and the on-the-spot food. For the people, to maintain a short-term daily expenses.
Therefore, compared with the help that the Shu army can provide, the assistance of grain and grass from the Shu area is an important part of his overall plan, which is definitely not to be wrong. It was also the promise and guarantee he persuaded the Western Army generals to take risks. However, he defended day by day and night. He still counts, and he still can't count the situation of Sanchuan, which has stabilized. The situation still went wrong at the critical moment.
Although the forerunners of the thousands of Shu army headed by Wang Jian were vague and unknown from top to bottom; however, as the only remaining prime minister of the imperial court, he naturally had this eyeliner and source of information in Sanchuan, Jiannan. Even if he originally proposed the overall plan to resolve Shang Rang's subordinates, the assassin he sent to Lingxue Pavilion thought to assist.
However, what people did not expect was that he still underestimated the lower limits and unscrupulous means of those in the Shu army; when there was a disturbance in the Xingyuan Mansion, the generals of the Shu area had committed themselves in order to fight for merit, and also blocked the spread of the news. The few Lingxuege masters who had been sent to assist in the act decisively and secretly killed and killed him, and who made the credit.
Therefore, in the end, there was only one survivor who was secretly responsible for contacting him. He escaped from the territory of Xingyuan Mansion with a scarred body to report the letter, but it was already a matter of ten days ago. Zheng Tian also learned from this that he had been waiting for the peaceful thief in the pass; already at the end of this winter, don't brazenly invade the territory of Shannanxi Road.
Although it is said that there is only a small group of people who are partial to the division, and they are still trapped in the small town by Tuantuan, this is still a very serious sign and trend. Therefore, not only after the follow-up was supposed to solve the Shangrang Ministry, the large troops of the Shu army that followed up quickly were restrained on the spot and couldn't come again; even when they had made an appointment to go to Guanzhong to sit in town, they would meet with Yang under Chang'an City. Brothers also had to turn back from Chen Cangdao.
This is very bad and bad. Obviously, with the prosperity of the three rivers, the abundance of products, and the prosperity of soldiers and horses, how can they cause such chaos again and again? First there was the Huangtou Army mutiny in Chengdu, followed by the civil upheaval in the various states of Xichuan, and then the Dongchuan coach Yang Shili reversed; after the suppression of Yang Shili, the Tianchen Rebellion broke out next to the emperor, and all soldiers and horses besieged Jinguan City. . .
And the kingdom of abundance of Yang Yiyi two, in the midst of continuous turmoil, slowly decayed and weakened. After Ha Ziai went through these things, the emperor who was forced to escape from the capital before the weak crown was finally awakened and cheered up. Only now is the strategic synergy of advancing the two roads side by side and conquering the customs.
Although in the following days, even if Zheng Qi did not rely on the assistance of the Shu army, he still commanded the Northwest Allied Forces, successfully defeated the peripheral forces of many thieves, and successively ambushed and annihilated many supporting troops from other forces. Huang Nigui, who was arrogantly known as the Puppet Emperor, was trapped in a corner of Chang'an City step by step. However, he did his best.
Therefore, he suddenly found himself in an invisible dilemma unknowingly after advancing so hard. The puppet Emperor Huang Ni and his remnant party, who gave up most of the city's contention, and took the initiative to retreat and entrenched in the imperial city, still have some surplus to fight and resist. Therefore, it is not so easy to get it quickly without paying a considerable price.
However, the peaceful thieves who have appeared in the Shu area are a wake-up call for everyone. Since Taiping thief can appear in Shanxi Road through Shannan Dongdao, can they also threaten Shu land from other places? As the saying goes, there are many nights and dreams, and the longer time delays, the greater the variables. The tactical layout that was originally brought and hit together may also be bankrupt as a result.
Therefore, this has forced the Western Army's main formation in the pass, in anticipation of possible subsequent supply shortages, to be more inclined to make quick decisions in one fell swoop, and never the possibility of future troubles. But to do this is back to the previous dilemma. The food and grass accumulated in the hands of the Western Army will not last long, and the rewards used to maintain and inspire morale are also seriously insufficient. Why do these soldiers desperately die
This constitutes a seemingly helpless endless loop. Therefore, he must continue to seek opportunities and possibilities to break the situation from the division of the thief army and the external factors of the basic board of the official army. According to the worst plan he had imagined, he should also allow the forces of the peripheral husbands in the army to be consumed as a priority to the point where it is convenient to control and balance.
Then, even if the thief fails in the end, Huang Nige rushes out and escapes; all the people are tired and unwilling to fight and scattered and rehabilitate and cultivate in various places in the Guan. After all, there is still a chance to keep it. Most of the victories and turf are located. And he, the prime minister of the army, naturally has room to continue to mediate.
Then it seemed to reflect his thoughts at the moment; it was Ji Cha, the pavilion master of the contemporary Lingxue Pavilion, who walked in slowly and whispered:
"Old man, someone found Wang Chongying of the Hezhong Army in the city... This guy has shaved his hair and shaved his hair, but he is hiding in the view of Xuanzhen..."
"Okay, then quickly bring people over..."
Zheng Tian couldn't help but move in his heart, but he commanded calmly:
Nowadays, many of the imperial court’s feudal towns have already surrendered thieves and subordinate thieves, but in accordance with the specific circumstances and the importance of the geographical location, there are naturally differences in the size of the population on the site. After the thieves were brought down, Wang Chongrong, who had maintained his independence and was also in the middle of the road, was naturally also an important part of his follow-up plan.
Soon after, the former Shaanxi Observatory, the former Shaanxi Observatory of Shaanxi, the former General Xiaowei of Great Qi, and Wang Chongying, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was stumbling and stumbling with his hands tied behind his back.
However, after he stepped into Xingqing Palace, he was the first to see a somewhat familiar figure. But it was Li Changyan's younger brother Li Changyan who stayed in Fengxiang Town, and Li Changfu who was also Weiqing Weiqing. I saw him being pressed to the ground all over his body, and begging for mercy loudly:
"Please do a good job and spare my life,"
"I would like to work for the old man anyway..."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a predecessor persuading my elder brother to resign, or I can deceive Fengtian by this, I can do a thing or two!!"
"I still have a department in the city to solicit, I can go to the imperial city to call the door, I..."
Then, the knife dropped with blood splashing several feet; and Wang Chongying couldn't help sitting down with his legs and feet soft. No matter how he beat and scolded, he couldn't stand up again.
And outside the Zunhua Gate near Xingqing Palace, the head of Fu Daozhao, the soldier general of Caizhou who was killed in battle, was raised up high. After being captured, Liu Jing, the general of the Heyang Army, who was deliberately released, also rode a horse in a panic towards the direction of Tongguan. (End of this chapter)
