To protect the home, what is required is not only responsibility, but also strength.
But now, the troops in Suiyang City are really unsatisfactory.
Zhang Xun himself brought more than 3,000 people, and the 3,800 soldiers under Xu Yuan's command were only less than 7,000. It would be a dream to rely on 7,000 people to stop the fierce attack of 100,000 rebels.
But Zhang Xun had to have such a dream, because after Suiyang, there was no more Tang Dynasty, and he had no choice but to retreat.
Since he decided to defend Suiyang City to the death, he had to concentrate on all available forces in the city. Because Xu Yuan was gentle, he took the initiative to raise military rations and war materials, while Zhang Xun served as the commander of the army and carefully controlled the seven thousand.
Famous soldiers were assigned to every corner of Suiyang City.
Suiyang City is not big, and there are about 10,000 elite men in the city. Zhang Xun ordered all of these men to be assigned to the four gate guards in preparation for emergencies. As for the most important issue of food and grass, Zhang
Shooting is also a headache.
However, the food in the city is still sufficient, and it is enough to support March. But in order to support as much as possible, Zhang Xun ordered people to change the three meals a day to two meals a day, while the people will have one meal a day. This way, more people can do it.
Hold on for more than a month.
At this point, Zhang Xun had done his best, and the rest could only look forward to reinforcements to help.
"Wanchun, you must send this letter to the Linhuai Governor Helan Jinming. I believe that with the friendship of classmates, he will definitely lead his army to reinforce Suiyang!"
Zhang Xun swears to hand the letter in his hand to Lei Wanchun, and a faint smile rises from the corner of his mouth.
In the last winter, the good sons of ten counties were blood-filled in Chen Taoze. The wilderness was clear and the sky was clear, and there was no sound of war. Forty thousand righteous soldiers died on the same day.
The Hu returned from the crowd and washed away the arrows, and still sang Hu songs and drank the city. The people returned to the north and cried, and watched the officials arrive day and night.
Chen Tao was defeated, Yongqiu was defeated, Ningling was defeated, Changshan was surrounded, Suiyang was surrounded
Looking at the shocking report presented by the scout, Li Kuo's heart was bleeding!
Why is this like this? Why did the Tang Dynasty become like this? Didn’t Guo Ziyi and General Li Guangbi have launched a strategic counterattack? Why is the Tang Dynasty’s army still being like this by the rebels?
"Qilang, you don't need to blame yourself too much. After all, no one wants to see such a scene." Zhou Wujue sighed and put away the report: "Now that Lingwu has given you another ultimatum, you want it.
See?”
Li Kuo waved his hand and said, "Since you have made a choice, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. If you make a choice, you have to look forward. Even if I want to look back now, do you think there is still a chance?"
Zhou Wujue spread his hands and said, "That's true. But how should the court go back? If you delay the disease, it's not a solution. Besides, they must know that we are coming to Ningling to help fight the Four Gods Group 3: Husband, get away
point."
"Just find a reason to do it perfunctorily. If he wants to study it deeply, he will let him do it. Now all I have to consider is how to lift the siege of Suiyang." Bingzhu handled military affairs for several days, making Li Kuo become haggard, and now his entire eye socket is full.
After falling deep, the person lost weight, but he still held on so hard. Zhou Wujue seemed very distressed, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If we really can't do it, we will fight with them. I don't believe that Tian Chengsi
It can withstand the fierce attack of our army."
"No, it's too reckless to do this. It's simply a bet on the lives of the brothers. Now Tian Chengsi has at least 20,000 troops in his hands. We only have more than 5,000 cavalry, and it's too dangerous to rush hard."
Li Kuo shook his head and denied Zhou Wuzui's proposal.
"What should I do? Are we waiting here? Our food and grass are only enough for ten days at most. If we can't meet Xiao Zhang Tanhua and the others in ten days, we will be afraid that we will go and drink the northwest wind!"
Zhou Wuzui waved his fist in resentment and shouted.
"General Zhou, don't worry first. Hasn't the governor sent someone to take a detour to inquire about the news? I believe that the message will be sent back soon."
Seeing that the two of them had arguing again, Li Sheng hurriedly stood up to reconcile. Now it is time to march, you must have a consensus. If you quarrel like this, it will definitely cause the rebels to take advantage of the loopholes.
"Report, report! Governor, Governor"
Just as the atmosphere in the camp was silent, a burst of screams suddenly came from outside the camp.
"Report! Governor, I, I." The messenger opened the curtain and entered the tent. His eyes turned dark and he fainted on the ground.
"Wake him up and give him some water!" Li Kuo frowned and ordered left and right.
With the efforts of everyone, the messenger finally opened his eyes slowly.
"Governor, Governor" the messenger paused, and tears actually spilled in his eyes.
"What happened, please speak slowly." Li Kuo faintly realized that something was extraordinary, but he tried his best to calm himself down.
"Governor, Tangzhou City, Tangzhou City"
"You finished speaking, what's wrong with Tangzhou City?" Dou Qing couldn't see it and urged him sternly.
Li Kuo glanced at Dou Qing: "Brother Dou!"
"Hey! It's so anxious." Dou Qing waved his hand and signaled that he would not ask questions again.
"Governor, Tangzhou City was surrounded by rebels! Nanyang and Fangcheng's defenders were all transferred, but the brothers still couldn't stand it. If you don't go back, it's all."
The messenger sobbed faintly, his tone was full of bitterness.
"What? Tangzhou City was surrounded by rebels? How many people did they come and who led them?" Li Kuo was shocked when he heard this. His whereabouts were extremely secretive when he left the city from Tangzhou. How could he attract the attention of the rebels? Besides, now he is rebel.
The army's focus is on besieging Suiyang, how could there be spare troops to march towards Tangzhou?
"Yes, I heard that the enemy was named Sun Xiaozhe, and he brought about 20,000 people, coming out from the direction of Tongguan. The brothers didn't care much at first, and they just thought they were scavengers who were plundering food and grass to fight Qiufeng. But who knew in the end
The army gathers more and more, the brothers can't resist it anymore."
So that's it! That's it. If the rebels' idle military force is the army stationed around the two capitals. Now An Qingxu has just ascended the throne and needs to garrison a large number of troops around Luoyang City to protect his position. In comparison
The rebels had just won a great victory in Chen Tao, and the troops stationed in Chang'an City seemed less important.
At this time, Sun Xiaozhe led 20,000 cavalry to break out of Tongguan. The besieged Tangzhou must have received internal information from the city. Who would be that traitor?
