After Li Xuan led the army into battle, martial law was imposed in the city.
"There are cavalry!"
Someone shouted from the top of the city.
The general put his hands on the city head, stared at the hundreds of riders with bright eyes, and whispered: "Big victory! Big victory! Big victory..."
More than a hundred cavalry galloped to the bottom of the city.
Everyone watched them with bated breath.
The leading sergeant raised his head and shouted:
"Great victory!"
The general forgot to breathe and trembled, "A great victory?"
"Shi Ni was defeated and fled to Jiagu Pass. Our army is chasing him! Great victory!"
The general pounded the city head violently and said, "Open the city gate!"
Squeak!
The city gates are wide open!
More than a hundred riders rushed in.
Wang Dong is drinking at home.
My wife was nagging beside me, "It's not that I shouldn't support His Highness, I should! But at any rate, I have to look at the timing. If Your Highness loses... Look at my mouth, I shouldn't."
Wang Dong took a sip of wine and knew what his wife wanted to say.
"If His Highness is defeated, the rebels will definitely take revenge on us. We are not warriors, where can we escape? Don't you think so?"
You have to pay attention to how you complain to the man in charge. His wife's words made Wang Dong even more depressed.
But a man never loses the battle, so Wang Dong said: "Your Highness will win!"
The wife sighed, "There is no guarantee of victory!"
"Great victory!"
The shouts were accompanied by the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Martial law has been lifted.
There were many noisy sounds outside.
"Your Highness defeated Shi Ni, and the rebels fled to Jiagu Pass!"
Wang Dong stared blankly and looked up outside.
His wife looked at him in shock.
"Great victory!"
Wang Dong smashed the wine glass on the ground, his face flushed, and he stamped his feet excitedly, "Great victory, great victory!"
He hugged his wife suddenly, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then rushed out.
"What a great victory! What a great victory!"
He rushed out of the house and there were people standing outside.
Everyone has the same expression.
Crazy excited!
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
I don't know who was the first to shout, and then the shouts spread throughout Daozhou City.
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
Wang Dong raised his arms and shouted.
He saw his friend Chen Xian.
"drink wine!"
He waved and Chen Xian nodded, "Okay, I would like to congratulate His Highness and the Tang Dynasty. I will not return home until I get drunk today."
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
Wang Dong turned around and saw his wife shouting.
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
…
Zhang Lin led almost all the cavalry in Daizhou City and galloped towards Daozhou.
Along the way, they defeated more than ten groups of rebel scouts.
The closer you get to Daozhou, the more rebel scouts there are.
In the afternoon, the rebel scouts suddenly disappeared.
"That's weird!"
Zhang Lin wondered, "Where are the people?"
When a large army is fighting, it is necessary to send out scouts to detect the enemy's situation and cover up the enemy's scouts.
In a word, strive for unilateral transparency on the battlefield.
But where are the rebel scouts?
"Your Majesty, the war is probably over."
A general said.
it's over?
Who wins and who loses?
Zhang Lin's heart was actually trembling.
Once defeated, Daizhou will inevitably fall.
Moreover, the rebels will take advantage of the situation and move north. Datang is standing on the edge of the cliff, not far from destruction.
God is above!
My ancestors are on top!
Protect the Tang Dynasty!
Zhang Lin looked at the sky and prayed devoutly.
"Your Majesty, should we... stop?" the general suggested.
Zhang Lin said resolutely: "Keep going, even if I die, I should die on the road to the rebels, instead of huddled in Daizhou and lingering!"
"Set off!"
As soon as the large group of people set off, they encountered more than a hundred riders.
"Stop!"
The cavalry in front intercepted the opponent.
"Where is this going?"
Zhang Lin in the back was a little restless.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.
Then the commotion spread.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Lin said dissatisfied.
"Great victory!"
"Your Highness is victorious, Shi Ni escapes!"
Zhang Lin's body swayed, his face turned red as if he was drunk, "Bring it, bring it!"
These more than a hundred people were planning to go to Daizhou to report their victory, but unexpectedly they met Zhang Lin.
The leading brigade commander came forward and saluted, "This afternoon, our army defeated the rebels and killed tens of thousands. Shi Ni took the defeated troops and fled to Jiagu Pass."
A big victory?
Big win!
The huge pressure was released immediately, but Zhang Lin couldn't help but feel a sore nose and choked up.
"Victory?! Victory!"
He wiped away his tears in embarrassment, and great joy surged into his heart. He couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness, a thousand years old!"
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
…
Wang Laoer led his army to pursue him.
Halfway through, he met a group of cavalry.
"Don't do it!"
Before sending troops southward, all the Northern Xinjiang troops were replaced by Xuanjia. When the opponent saw Xuanjia, they raised their hands to show no harm.
Wang Laoer asked, "Where did it come from?"
A school captain came out and said, "Where did you come from?"
Wang Laoer was angry, "Yeah, yeah, Northern Xinjiang Army!"
The captain smiled and said: "I just happened to be looking for the Northern Xinjiang Army."
"What's the matter?"
The captain first asked, "How was this battle?"
"Great victory!" Wang Laoer said.
"Gods and Buddhas bless you!" The captain was overjoyed and looked up to the sky with a smile.
Wang Laoer's head was full of black lines, "Have you laughed enough?"
The captain saluted and said, "Please also inform His Highness the King of Qin that Jiagu Pass is in the hands of our army."
"What?"
Wang Laoer was stunned, "Whose hands?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
…
Jianzhou.
Ashina Yanrong's face turned pale.
"Did you actually lose?"
"yes."
The sergeant who came to report the news looked in a sorry state, with his armor and clothes in disarray, and said, "The king ordered the general to defend Jianzhou City to the death."
How to hold on?
This question flashed in Ashina Yanrong's mind for a moment and then disappeared.
How did it fail?
He had been looking forward to good news, thinking that if the Beijiang army was defeated, the threat to Jianzhou would be completely eliminated.
Later, he prepared to invite Ying to go north to attack Northern Xinjiang.
But now, all this has become a dream.
"I'll take my leave, little man." The sergeant saluted.
"Report!"
The voice was a little rushed.
Ashina Yanrong felt uneasy in her heart.
It was a scout from Jianzhou who came, looking like a rat that had lost its nest.
"General, Jiagu Pass has been lost, and the king has led his army to Yuezhou."
Jiagu Pass is lost...
Since the rebels launched their troops from southern Xinjiang, their attacks have been smooth, and their biggest gain was the capture of Guanzhong.
The loss of Jiagu Pass means that all this is lost.
All previous efforts were in vain.
Ashina Yanrong looked miserable, "The situation is over!"
…
"Your Highness."
Li Xuan learned the news at night.
"Shi Ni led his army in a circle and went to Yuezhou. He said it was Jiagu Pass..."
"Your Highness!" Wang Laoer came, "King Wei has captured Jiagu Pass!"
What the hell is this?
Li Xuanben was a little sleepy, and when he heard this, he felt his mind was confused.
"He captured Jiagu Pass?"
Immediately, Han Ji and He Lianrong were called.
"It was said to be a surprise attack. There weren't many troops at Guan Guan, so they were defeated instantly."
Wang Laoer yawned.
Han Ji stroked his beard, with a stern look in his eyes, "Your Highness, Guanzhong is the place where the Great Tang Dynasty flourished, and it must be held in hand."
"Our army fought against Shi Ni, but others took advantage of it." He Lianrong also threw away the mask of mercy.
Guanzhong is not only the land of Longxing, but also a strategic location.
Guanzhong is located in the center of the Tang Dynasty. Starting from here, one can easily attack the four directions. But if the four directions want to go elsewhere, they have to pass through Guanzhong.
Li Xuan was silent for a moment, "King Wei doesn't care about the world at all..."
"Your Highness!" Han Ji felt that this idea was wrong, "People are fickle."
"With a sharp blade in hand, the murderous intention arises!" said the compassionate monk.
A person with a weak temperament suddenly has a huge amount of money. Can he still maintain that cold temperament?
A person with a calm heart suddenly has a few peerless beauties around him. How can he remain calm?
The human heart cannot withstand the test!
…
"Shi Ni was defeated?"
In Jiagu Pass, Li Han said in disbelief: "It's only been two days!"
The scout who got the news said: "On the first day, Shi Ni had the upper hand. In today's battle, the King of Qin used all his tricks to suppress the enemy. Shi Ni was defeated and was defeated."
King Wei is sitting at the top, his majestic body illuminated by candlelight.
"After Shi Ni's defeat, there will be no chance for him to make a comeback!"
"Can……"
Li Han looked at King Wei, thinking about the current situation.
The King of Qin who defeated the rebels gained great prestige, but King Wei held Jiagu Pass in his hands and sealed off Guanzhong...
What to do next?
…
In Yuezhou, Wei Ming was giving lectures.
"Once this battle is defeated, the general trend of the world will change. The south is the foundation of our army and cannot be lost."
Qian Song heard the implication... The king went to Guanzhong and abandoned the south.
But I, Wei Ming, will not leave you waiting.
Is this going to split?
Yes, after the victory of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Jianzhou was definitely not guaranteed. In this case, the King of Qin sealed off Guanzhong.
From then on, Guanzhong was isolated from the south.
The South that loses contact with Guanzhong will become a piece of fat meat without an owner.
Judging from Wei Ming's intention, I feel like swallowing this piece of fat in one gulp?
This is exactly what Wei Ming had in mind.
In his opinion, not only were the rebels completely devastated after the defeat, but they probably no longer had the courage to go out and fight the Northern Xinjiang Army.
The people of Guanzhong hated the rebels so much that it was impossible for Shi Zhongtang to recruit warriors in Guanzhong. Even if he could recruit them, he would have to worry about those big men in Guanzhong turning against him during the war.
In other words, he cannot get additional troops.
In this way, Shi Zhongtang's days in Guanzhong were lingering.
No more chance to stir up trouble.
On the contrary, when the forces in Guanzhong see his weakness, they will be ready to take action, and then war will begin...
Shi Zhongtang, it’s over!
From Wei Ming's point of view, Shi Zhongtang had no chance of making a comeback.
And he will control the south and become the second Shi Zhongtang.
The south is rich, with two or even three crops a year. If you control the south, you don't need to worry about money and food at all.
If he has money and food, he can use the money and food as bait to summon a large army in no time.
The Northern Xinjiang Army will inevitably attack Guanzhong first, so that it can develop in the south.
After half a year of repairs, they attacked the Southern Zhou Dynasty!
Wei Ming thought of Southern Zhou Dynasty, and a look of greed flashed in his eyes.
It was a ridiculously rich place, but it was weak.
After capturing the Southern Zhou Dynasty, his power will expand.
At that time, if the Northern Xinjiang Army's attack fails, he will be able to wait for an opportunity to attack.
If the Northern Xinjiang army destroyed Shi Zhongtang, he would stick to the south.
At least, we can stand on our own as a country.
Wei Ming's breathing tightened, and his whole body felt hot with excitement.
There were footsteps outside.
Many people listened.
Wei Ming said dissatisfied: "What's the matter?"
A man walked outside the door.
"Wei Ming!"
Wei Ming raised his eyes.
My whole body trembled.
"King?!"
…
Shi Zhongtang went around in circles and finally arrived in Yuezhou.
He stood outside the door and looked at Wei Ming, who was sitting at the top, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Wei Ming was obviously stunned, and then stood up and saluted, "I have met the king!"
"I've met the king!"
Everyone salutes.
Shi Zhongtang walked into the lobby, but Wei Ming avoided him and asked him to sit down.
"Although this battle is lost, our army is still there. I am preparing to return to southern Xinjiang to recruit warriors and prepare for a counterattack."
Now that the army has been raised, the momentum of rapid development has been interrupted by the Northern Xinjiang Army. If Shi Zhongtang chooses to lie dormant, then his subordinates will have various ideas.
Those subordinates who are accustomed to burning, killing and looting will come back to bite him.
He asked for it.
From letting his subordinates burn, kill, and loot, to letting his subordinates massacre the city, Shi Zhongtang used this method to stimulate the wildness of his subordinates.
He succeeded.
His subordinates are always in trouble.
But what will happen to the rebels who have lost these benefits when he is defeated?
Use beauty to serve others, but when beauty fades, love will spread... Use benefits to tempt people, but when benefits go away, people's hearts will be devastated.
This is the cultivation of poisonous insects. When poisonous insects have no food, they will eat the host.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the faces of the civil and military officials in the lobby.
