Fireworks in March, and the orioles sing in the morning.
The spring breeze blew the willows green and the flowers red, but the hope of the Suiyang garrison was not blowing.
From Yongqiu to Ningling and retreating to Suiyang, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan had been dealing with tens of thousands of rebels for a whole year with the strength of thousands of troops in their hands. Although they often defeated the more with fewer and fewer.
, beheaded more than 10,000 enemy troops, but the absolute advantage of the number of people will inevitably be reflected once they enter the tug-of-war. Moreover, the soldiers in their hands are all rural brave men, and the only government troops are also some old and weak.
The difference in combat power is not a little bit different from that of the rebels.
Perhaps they could win one or even two battles with their unyielding fighting spirit, but without reinforcements, they would never be able to win the final victory. So everyone in Suiyang City knew that they were just postponing the date of their death.
A few days ago, news came that An Qingxu killed his father and seized the throne. The defenders were excited. I thought that An Lushan ignored his kindness and rebelled without hesitation, but his biological son was chopped off his head. I wonder if it was not.
Is it karma?
Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. After An Qingxu seized the throne, he further stepped up his attack on Suiyang City. Not only did he order his general Yin Ziqi to lead elite tribes such as Luo, Turks, and Xi to join forces with Yang Chaozong's troops, a total of more than ten
Ten thousand people besieged Suiyang City, and ordered the general Tian Chengsi, who was stationed in Xingyang, to move his troops to the north of Suiyang to block the Tang Dynasty reinforcements coming to Suiyang.
You should know that Suiyang City is the last gateway of the Jianghuai Road in the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps the Tang court could sit and watch Yongqiu be defeated, and could see Ningling fall, but it would never allow Suiyang to fall into the hands of the rebels again. If you let more than 100,000 Hus
If you ride across the Huai River, the hope of a full revival of the Tang Dynasty will be instantly dispelled.
Therefore, this battle is not a battle in the ordinary sense, but a war related to the national destiny between the two countries.
Today, Zhang Xun came to the city to inspect the city with Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun. Xiaochun was still a little cold, and the wind on the city was very fierce, and it hurt suddenly when it hit his cheeks.
"Nan Ba, it seems that we have blamed that child Qilang for wrongly." Looking at the dark rebels under the city, Zhang Xun patted the walls and sighed.
Nan Jiyun sighed and said, "I was very disappointed when he rejected me. I just thought he was just a greedy person who was afraid of death. I never thought that he was really looking for the overall situation. If it weren't for the Ningling Battle, Qilang and the others helped him.
I'm afraid we can't leave Ningling City alive."
Zhang Xun said with a slight hint: "Everything has its own reasons. Although Qilang is still young, he looks at problems longer than ordinary people and thoroughly. However, such generals cannot be valued by the court, otherwise our Tang Dynasty will resist now.
The enemy's form will not be so passive."
Looking at the current situation, the Tang Dynasty commanded the troops to welcome the enemy either after some aristocratic families or generals who only knew how to talk about war on paper. Finally, Guo Ziyi was released, and Li Guangbi was also reduced by the Emperor's power and sent a military supervisor to the army to monitor.
With such suspicion from the court, how can the generals let go of their hands and feet to suppress the rebellion? I just hope that I will not repeat the mistakes of Tongguan hatred!
"Now Qilang is afraid that it will be difficult for him to go further. The northern part of Suiyang is surrounded by Tian Chengsi and his servant, and it is impossible for ordinary people to pass through it."
Lei Wanchun frowned and said, "I really don't know what the court is thinking at this time. Isn't that Yongwang leads the crowd to the east? It seems that he is coming to Suiyang. The court not only does not send troops to greet him.
Isn’t this self-destructing the Great Wall?”
It’s no wonder Lei Wanchun complained that more than 100,000 rebels have surrounded Suiyang City, and even if ordinary troops want to rescue them, they are likely to be surrounded by rebels. The best way now is to send reinforcements from Jianghuai
It was really disappointing to solve Sui Yang's urgent need. The court actually ignored the battlefield situation and only focused on suppressing the rebels.
"Some things are hard to explain. Your Majesty can do nothing about doing this." After all, it was the former Tanhualang. Zhang Xun looked at the current situation in the court far more clearly than Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun.
Sometimes what you value most in the court affairs is often not your political achievements and abilities but your attitude.
It is really unpaid to use a general who is entrusted with troops to make a big deal. Instead of doing this, it is better to send an official with a slightly inferior ability but no ambition to lead the battle. After all, abilities vary from person to person.
If you have a little difference, you can rely on the overall situation to make up for it, but if there is a problem with a person's attitude, it is really a big problem.
What's more, the person who now has self-respecting troops is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty - King Yong!
Long before An Lushan rebelled, there was news in the court that the Supreme Emperor wanted to change the King Yong as the crown prince. Although there was a possibility of spreading rumors, it was definitely not groundless.
When Zi was not a broad-minded person today, how could he allow King Yong to do such provocation?
"I can't help but know that the brothers are bleeding and sweating for him here? He has no choice but to see that he has not taken our lives seriously. Since he is so ruthless, why should we protect the country for him?
”
Lei Wanchun became more and more angry the more he thought about it. It is said that the emperor had just ascended the throne and sent someone to build a hot spring palace in Lingwu. As soon as the palace was completed, he couldn't wait to move in, completely turning a blind eye to the military expenditure on the front line!
Such an emperor is not worthy of everyone's life!
"Wanchun, you are wrong. What we are protecting is not the Li family's country!"
Zhang Xun raised his arm and said, "Look at this, look at this place, this mountain, this river, and this loess are all my Tang Dynasty. As descendants, we are incompetent and mediocre, so we cannot expand our territory and expand our territory.
If even the land left by our ancestors cannot defend the general, it will be a great unworthy and a sinner of the nation!”
Zhang Xunyue became more and more excited when he said that, and the distance between Adam's apples was surging: "What we guard is the land under our feet, the mountains and rivers in the distance, and the home of each of us!"
"The home belongs to each of us!" Lei Wanchun clenched his fists and paused word by word.
For some reason, he only felt that Zhang Xun's words were spoken to his bones, and his long-standing cold blood had become boiling again.
We are not guarding the country of one family, we are guarding the land under our feet, the mountains and rivers in the distance, and the home of each of us!
Books belong to each of us!
ps: I have been thinking about whether to write this passage for a long time. I am really confused. I have pushed it down over and over again. Let’s write it again.
